Copenhagen defender Mellberg: Juventus have completely changed

FC Copenhagen defender Olof Mellberg is looking forward to facing former club Juventus tonight in their Champions League group opener.

The former Aston Villa defender left Juve four years ago.

"The team has changed a great deal since I was there," he told a Press conference.

"Back then they had plenty of experienced players, such as Del Piero, Trezeguet, Camoranesi and Nedved. Now they're a younger group and have changed their style of play.

"Only Buffon, Chiellini, Marchisio, Giovinco and De Ceglie have remained from my spell in Turin. It's a completely different side and I think they've improved."
